...one subject or another for as long as I can remember. Many people are astounded by my patience and ability to guide both children and adults through difficult subjects.

As a Graduate of Eastern Michigan University's College of Arts and...

I think that knowledge is power and the children are our future. I once dreamt of being a high school math teacher but resigned to studying economics in lieu of this dream. I like the relative certainty of mathematics and look forward to tutoring more people. "Teach a man to fish..."

...replace the teacher in the classroom. Rather, a tutor should play the role of a mentor, guiding students to find their own successes. In order to do this, a tutor takes on the role of a mentor to nourish relationships on an individual level, help students find out their own learning styles, and guide them on the path to using that knowledge to learn content. It is my belief that the first step of any...

I look forward to working with you to achieve...

...around them differently, and manifests that information differently. No one teaching method could ever account for the infinite variable of personality and general humanness; hence the importance of one-on-one teaching. I take my position as a tutor seriously for this reason; I approach students with the understanding that they will not all be the same, and that each requires consideration for their respective characters, abilities, and desires. In short, I offer students a chance to...

...60 credits of graduate education at Harvard University, and plan to write my thesis and finish my degree this year.

...have learned from over 9 years of tutoring and from doing my own work in earning my master's degree.

I try to bridge that gap between what they know and what they should know and try and keep explanations as simple and relatable as possible. I...

...shy, some are outgoing; some are academically driven, and some are interested in other things. I take these aspects into account when teaching.

Personally, I love books. Reading and talking about them is a great pleasure of mine. I also like word games and puzzles....

...in literature. Finally, my own educational background makes me uniquely sympathetic to students struggling with subjects. Despite my numerous academic successes, I suffer from a minor learning disability.

I am able to present different ways of learning information to students who may be...

Active learning should also be individual because we are all the result of different families, communities, interests, and goals.

I want to help those who need assistance actively "learn," not memorize...

I enjoy English because it helps to illustrate ideas and tell stories, and can vicariously include others in an experience or event or make them see things from a perspective they might not otherwise have considered.

I'm also quite familiar with reading comprehension...

...is struggling. Every student is different and deserves a teaching method that is tailored to them. I believe students learn best when they are guided along through discussion and hands-on methods as opposed to when they are lectured to; I also believe learning can and should be fun!
